HAH!
Also, thanks a lot for building this utility. I've typically used mac's builtin "Preview" app to do some basic PDF operations like deleting some pages and merging two pdfs, but doing so on windows required using some sketchy websites.
Now, that's a re-writing of history if I've ever seen one.
> Israeli and Palestinian deaths preceding the 2023 Gaza war. Of the Palestinian deaths 5,360 were in Gaza, 1,007 in the West Bank, 37 in Israel. Most were civilians on both sides.

> And now, with Iran's nuclear ambitions supposedly neutralized in a single blow, we can all relax. The threat is gone. No strategic aftershocks, no long term consequences, no unintended escalation. Just peace, stability, and a region completely satisfied with the outcome.
Sounds like sarcasm to me.
That's a good point, its pretty easy to forget BEAM's heritage from the telecom world. The defaults on the VM are for that use-case, I'm so used to thinking of everything from a web perspective that I didn't even consider this, despite knowing of its history.
TLDR: BEAM VM uses busy waiting under the hood to achieve fast response time when dealing with requests. you can disable it by setting a few options in the VM.
Edit: Interesting thing here is that there's no significant latency difference when toggling busy/wait, so not sure why that's the default.
